Paragraph (1) does not apply to a sealed source which gives a radiation level not exceeding 0.1 µSv per hour at one metre away from the centre of the source.

(3)

Any premises where the total amount of radioactive materials kept or stored on the premises exceeds 35 GBq must have a notice stating that radioactive materials are kept or stored on those premises and the notice must be displayed at all main entrances to those premises in such a manner that it can be clearly seen by any individual entering those premises.
